About Me

There's not much to say that hasn't been covered in the interests section. I just thought it was about time I joined the world of myspace to see what it was all about. This is still a work in progress so I hope to add pictures, etc, whenever I get time!
I live in Glasgow and I'm happiest around my friends and family (that includes the furry four legged kind). I love music, movies and TV, and the inevitable discussion that comes with it.
I guess that's the basics covered! After all, I'm just here to have a laugh, not sell my life story!

My Interests

Animals, music/going to concerts, TV, cinema, travelling, photography (albeit amateur).

Music:

Rock mostly (all through the ages). But I love acoustic/mellow, folk, reggae, classics/oldies, blues, and all sorts of other random stuff!
Basically anything that catches my ear, so to speak.
My favourite band of all time is Extreme. And the rest, well, the list is endless...
This was the point of no return for me! Extreme blowing the world's minds at the Freddie Mercury Tribute (Part 1).
(And now Part 2).
Here's a Foo Fighters video that cracks me up every time! (Learn To Fly)

Movies:

Comedy, thriller, action, drama, a bit of horror (as long as it doesn't involve werewolves or spiders!).
Among my favourite actors are Ed Norton, John Cusack, Keanu Reeves, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, the whole Frat Pack especially Will Ferrell and the Wilson brothers, Jason Lee, Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudson...
Directors - basically anyone that doesn't butcher the movie! Steven Spielberg (of course!), Oliver Stone (particularly for Platoon and Salvador), John Hughes (do I need a reason?), Cameron Crowe (for his perfect marriage of music and story telling), Kevin Smith (except for the donkey scenes in Clerks 2!)...
Here's my favourite scene from Almost Famous

Television:

Too many shows! Off the top of my head, Lost (I'm slightly obsessed), 24, ER, Bones, House, Grey's Anatomy, Boston Legal, That 70s Show, Frasier, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond (even though they're all finished!), My Name Is Earl, Two And a Half Men, Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy...I could go on!
I still get a kick out of this Lost Rhapsody...

Books:

Not a big reader, but when I do read it usually involves Terry Pratchett.

Heroes:

We're all heroes in our own way...Speaking of Heroes, that's another one for the TV list!

My Blog

So Lost

Thanks to the lovely writers of Lost, my mind is even more messed up than usual! How do they do it?! And WHY are they messing with my head?!Now every spare second is spent trawling through the clues o...
